I'm absolutely amazed that some of our fans can turn a 100% pure vindication like this into an indictment of the player.

Where do we find these people?
I realize shes a nutcase and very vindictive . Zeke prob did nothing wrong. But out of all the people at Ohio St how did Zeke end up with her?
I'm asking the questions a parent or investigator would.

I would need a lot more than one nutcase to blame the victim. If he surrounds himself with psychos and we find that a lot of the people he hangs around are frequently in trouble, we might be able to deduce that he's hanging with the wrong crowd because that's who he is most comfortable with. But when one chick goes off the deep end I'm not going to blame the person she goes crazy on.

And if a woman gets raped I'm not going to blame her because of the way she was dressed. And if a woman gets beaten up by her boyfriend I'm not going to say it's because she's lippy or likes abusive guys.

I don't blame the victim. Unless there is a LOT more evidence that he's associating with a bad crowd I will not blame him for the actions of another person. I'm not sure how you look at your stance and don't see victim blaming, I assume it's because he's a guy. I sincerely doubt that in the previous two examples I gave you would be saying it was the woman's fault.

How long ago was it written "a woman scorned"? I love the ladies but I do not ever want one really mad at me. A guy will just try and kick your butt if he's mad. You get the wrong woman with an ax to grind mad at you. She'll get her brothers to kick your butt, take pics, post them on Facebook and tell everyone your parents married after you were born.

Again, I'm not blaming him. I'm simply questioning his judgement . Maybe he just has poor taste in women ?

Which is just a passive aggressive way of placing the blame on him. Questioning his judgement in this case means you believe this happened because of his actions or decisions - that's kind of the definition of blame. I'm not sure how I can make you understand that, I've said it every way that I know how and included examples.

Then your misinterpreting my intention.

I'm not just questioning his judgement in this case but a general observation with visiting a pot shop in Seattle on a Cowboys road trip then his text. I have concerns he make more poor judgements which could hurt the Cowboys . Beyond that I couldn't care less what he does.

The text was to the psycho. It came out in court documents. So that was an old text, most likely from April - July if it's from his stint in the NFL and not college, and it's clearly from the time before he knew she was a psycho. Drug testing was after April 20 and she made her false claims against him July 22. I'm not sure if there are visible dates on the texts, but that's almost certainly when they would have to be from unless they were from his time in college.

I wish some of the women would comment in this thread to offer a different perspective. It's easy for men to say "She should be prosecuted!"

I am not saying she shouldn't, just trying to understand if there are some underlying factors that may lead to this type of behavior. I have experienced a woman trying to lie to police before and luckily the facts were pretty clear. I chose to just distance myself from the situation and the girl, so I could move on quickly, even though I could have tried to press charges.

She didn't go to Ohio St., she was a waitress at a club.

I have 2 daughters and I teach them to conduct themselves with class and dignity. I listened to Baylor stuff and I kept wondering what type of girls were they? What were their grades in school? Were they groupies?Why were they with those guys at the parties? did they get upset because they saw those guys with others after consensual sex ? Were they flunking out of school? Were they proving a point that they could ruin those guys? Yes, a few of those guys may have been assaulting them, I do not doubt that, but not all, and finally why would they put themselves in a situation like that? There was a young lady that was supposedly raped 2 times at Texas State both times she was in the boys dorm late at night, a bad decision by that young lady

Hey, if you lie down with barnyard dogs, you get fleas. Maybe he should keep his johnson in his pants and grow up a bit. So far, his judgement
hasn't been the best. Good football players are targets and you have to be smart or get smart unless you want to deal with the consequences.

He is partly to blame. He chose to associate with her. Not smart. If you step into "poop", you still have to clean it up and deal with the smell.

I didn't see this posted yet, or buried in one of the Zeke threads. It'll get you hot, if you haven't seen it yet.

"Authorities in Columbus, Ohio, have released new documents that explain why they decided not to file charges against Cowboys rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott, despite a woman's claims that he assaulted her in July.

The Columbus city attorney's office investigated Tiffany Thompson's allegations for more than a month before saying Tuesday that it will not pursue charges against Elliott because of conflicting, inconsistent information and insufficient evidence.

After announcing its decision, the city attorney's office quickly released statements from Elliott, his accuser and other people who were interviewed during the investigation. The office also released photos, a 911 call and texts messages among Elliott, Thompson and one of Thompson's friends who said Thompson told her to lie to police.

"At no point during Ezekiel's walk to the Carriage House, or at no time during the night, did I witness Ezekiel come into physical contact with Tiffany or touch Tiffany," Ayrin Mason, the friend, said in a written statement to police.

Some of the text messages between Thompson and Mason...."

The Columbus city attorney's office said Wednesday that it does not plan to file charges against Thompson, who has been accused of trying to frame Elliott.

It's a woman's world.

My ol man says he can't stand some of our fans. I agree.

He has rightly been vindicated but, he chose to get himself into this situation. He chose to go to a pot house in Seattle and
he chose to text back to a girlfriend that he was cleansing himself so he wouldn't test positive for drugs. Just because you're
not convicted you could still be guilty by association and public opinion. The Commish has not ruled on his behavior yet and
he could still get sent to the showers. He has to grow up and be smarter.

Probably because she's hot and he's young.
